Reviews

Keller's command of the relevant historiographies is impeccable. To produce Colonial Madness, the author had to read deeply in the literatures of modern France, modern medicine, psychiatry, colonial science, African medical history, the history and ethnography of the Maghreb, and postcolonial theory. Many less accomplished authors might have mastered one or two of these, but Keller has learned them all to an extent that is really formidable, and the payoff is substantial. - Jonathan Sadowsky, Case Western Reserve University
